Fair Play Missouri

A shit hole town that you blink and miss it. It has one gas station and a grocery store. Pretty God surrounded town and super boring. The teens there have nothing more to do than go about 8 minutes east of the town to Bolivar and hang at Wal-mart. Whoa, so much fun! If you grow up there, you will learn to call it home and eventually have a love/hate relationship with it.

You dont go to Fair Play Missouri? oh, you're not my brother.

Fair weather friend

A disloyal friend. Someone who will befriend you when it’s beneficial or convenient for them, but will ditch you the second you’re no longer useful. They’ll hang out with you when nobody else is available. But will ghost you when they find better company. They’re basically a phony friend who are only interested in you when it’s in their favor but couldn’t care less about you as a person.

Hey Steve, why do I only hear from John when he wants a favor but is never available when I need something?

Simple, he’s a fair weather friend.

Fair dinkum

Usually a term used to confirm the truth of a statement.
The origins of this term are disputed but a plausible one is that it came from the Victorian Goldfields where Chinese workers used the term Ding kum so confirm a deal that is honest and true.
